“My symptoms were quite scary because before I was diagnosed, I was on stage very dizzy,” she shared. “I was losing my balance. I was afraid I was going to fall off the stage. I was having these very, very, very millisecond blackouts, but regularly, every minute or every 30 seconds.“
Despite everything she’s been through, Twain said she’s “grateful” the disease didn’t affect something more serious.

“It was just a very unfortunate, ironic problem since I’m a singer,” she said, “but I feel so grateful and so lucky that it didn’t attack somewhere else because it’s so debilitating.”
Twain said she now has a “grip” on the disease. Although her voice will never be the same, she says she loves it.
